The new Chapéu Virado house owner realized that it was a valuable construction. The house showed an austere front facade with a modern look. The great state of neglect didnʼt discourage him, quite the opposite; it excited him and led him to search someone who could help restore the house and the garden, adapting it to the new needs. The multiplicity of attitudes and principles implicit in a very personal logic were fundamental in the details.
The facade was rehabilitated, the balustrades redesigned and the excesses introduced by the time were removed, restoring the image of the original work. New frontal and patterns for new stone compositions were designed, as well as the garden; the vegetation was carefully chosen and the trees were also arranged into genuine works of art.
